Motor coming out and upgraded, hints tips suggestions wanted/appreciated

[Knight Viper]

My 02 30,000 mile 5lb Roe Water **** motor is making some low end noises (was making excess crankcase pressure before this) so it time for some rebuild and upgrades... I have Jessel RR, 70mm TB, Headers, Roe blower Vec III. I want to do forged pistons and a cam while it's out but want to know where the money will be best spent ie: head work, more boost ect???
Thank you so much for the input

Does Greg offer heads for purchase of does he work the ones you send him?

I think he can do it either way. He has done 3 sets of heads for me and they are awesome!!!! That being said, I am putting a set of Greg Good heads on a TT GTS. It was a Hennessey 650R. I will sell the Hennessey heads. Only reason I replaced them was to get a better flowing head.

I believe he works the ones you send him, but I'd call him. Since you're going forged I would upgrade the pulley to a 8 or 10lb, all depending on your fuel system though. Would also be a great time to do heads as well, but you might have to wait a while for them to be done. Good luck!!

Sometimes Greg has cores at his shop he can sell you/use for your head-work. You can send him your heads, send him a spare set of heads or use his cores.

What are the specs on the Hennessey heads? Did you check to see if anything was even done to them cause we all know how things worked back in the day @ that shop

I can't be sure by looking, but they have been ported and polished. They have 2.02 intake, and 1.6 exhaust. What else do you need?

LOL, a think an unconditional 100% money back guarantee would make the sale happen.

What is the the best way to reach Greg??

Thank you, I also talked with Sean Roe today and he was an awesome help and willing to work with the machine shop personally if needed.

GG=Hennessey heads IF the notorious JH actually sent the heads to Greg ;-)

I was going to mention that, but I'm not so sure Greg did/does all of Hennessey heads...

Sounds like you're gonna beef up the HP. Better get some traction control on that baby. Nobody has ever survived driving a car with that much HP without traction control. They're all dead. And the children, think of the children.

Motor being pulled this weekend.. I keep you posted on the progress

Hey Knight Viper. I talked to you via PM about that NADA duct you have. Anyways, I have tried repling several times, and as of now figured out I was probably doing it wrong. Anyways please email, or call me regarding this. I need it ASAP!!!!

Thanks,

Great with pictures please

V10PWR has a set of interesting heads in the classified...might be worth checking into since the price is right. Looks like upgraded springs as well.

IMO....

-High volume oil pump. (Arrow has a new one)
-Get the oil pan with three "ribs" on bottom. Holds more oil than the two "ribbed" pan.
-Weaver crank pulley
-ARP studs
-ACR oil filter adapter. Very hard to find but will give you an extra 12# oil pressure at 5200 RPMs with just this part.
-If ordering pistons, get the ring lands lowered on the piston skirt. This leaves more piston mass at the top. Boost'd cars tend to run hotter and break the corner of the piston which is weakened with ring lands up top. With the rings lower on the skirt they seem to last a little longer.
I learned this the hard way.....

Like the others have said, you can't go wrong with Greg Good heads. He did a great job porting my Roe Intake....

Unless you can find a set of Strikers.....

Good luck with your build but be careful. The "while you're in there" will break 'ya....

Good rods are a must also. I do have some laying around if needed but changed the pistons and rods either way.
